I live in Central Ohio, and we have a restaurant here called Xi Xia which focuses on Western Chinese cooking. About 6 years ago they had a fantastic side dish of tofu skin noodles in a light orange/red sauce.. the restaurant no longer makes it, and claims to have never made it. So I'm looking for help figuring out what it was so I can try and make it at home.

The sauce could have been an oil base, it had a numbing quality. But it wasn't too spicy. I've never had anything like it before.

Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Thank you.
